Sketching in 'Lawang Sewu'

Lawang Sewu is an old Dutch building, used to be an office of NIS ( Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij ). I was sketching there on Sunday 5th/1/14 and a local journalist took my picture and it was on the paper the next day. I didn't read the hardcopy of the newspaper and only read it from the  on line e-paper.

I have no problem to sketch in public :)

It was in 'Tribun Jateng'

Gdung Lawang Sewu

The sketch I did yesterday (14th August 2010) and I added to this post.

In the front of former NIS office in the colonial era in Indonesia, there's Tugu muda, a monumet dedicated to the Semarangese youth who fight against the Japanese occupation troops in Indonesia during the WW II.

Now known as Gdung Lawang Sewu, it was an office building of Nederlands-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) in the Dutch Colonial time. Built in 1904 and completed in 1907 on the area called Wilhelmina Plein.
